Abstract:
... Mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is a phenomenon that the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) loses its selective permeability, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and cell injury. Electrophysiological evidence indicates the presence of a mega-channel commonly called permeability transition pore (PTP) whose opening is responsible for MPT. However, the molecular identity of the PTP is st ...
... A series of incubation systems of (+) - catechin (Cat), ascorbic acid (AA) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) of lotus rhizome at 40 °C were performed to investigate the effect and oxidation pathway of AA on the stability of Cat. The results showed that after the enzymatic or non-enzymatic oxidation of Cat, the products of the two reactions were the same, namely epicatechin, catechin dimer and dehydroge ...

Abstract:
... Tris (1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCIPP) is a commonly used organophosphate-based flame retardant and can bio-accumulate in human tissues and organs. As its structure is similar to that of neurotoxic organophosphate pesticides, the neurotoxicity of TDCIPP has raised widespread concerns. TDCIPP can increase neuronal apoptosis and induce autophagy. However, its regulatory mechanism remains un ...
... In our previous study, two crude polysaccharides from red kidney bean and small black soybean (RK, SB) have shown the alleviative effect on type 2 diabetic mice. Meanwhile, hepatic dysfunction usually accompanied with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and closely related to glucose and lipid homeostasis. Therefore, this time we further investigated the protective effect on hepatic dysfunction of RK ...
... This study aimed to isolate and identify fungal species involved in sliced bread spoilage, and to evaluate their susceptibility to antifungal proteins of fungal origin (AFPs). Proteins include PdAfpB from Penicillium digitatum and PeAfpA, PeAfpB and PeAfpC from Penicillium expansum. Based on morphological criteria, a group of sixteen fungal isolates were selected and subsequently identified at the ...

Abstract:
... Applications of urea oxidation reaction (UOR) in various sustainable energy-conversion systems are greatly hindered by its slow kinetics. Herein, we demonstrate an in-situ confined synthesis method that produces amorphous chromium oxide confined Ni/NiO nanoparticles-assembled nanosheets (Ni/NiO@CrOₓ) with fast reaction kinetics towards UOR. The confinement effect of the in-situ generated CrOₓ over ...
... The cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedling stage frequently experiences waterlogging due to heavy autumn rainfall in tropical areas, which impairs cherry tomato growth and development. In this study, we investigated the effects of exogenous spermidine and calcium on the morphological, physiological and biochemical traits of two popular cherry tomato cultivars (Hongfei6: flooding-insensit ...
... Akirins are highly conserved, small, nuclear proteins that have been recognized as key regulators of multiple gene expression patterns and play important roles in immune responses. Previous studies on Akirins have mainly focused on the model species Drosophila and mice, while there have been few studies on fish. In the present study, two Akirin genes, Akirin1 and Akirin2, were identified from Mega ...
... The economically important seaweed Porphyra are often infected by various diseases during sea farming. As one of the most important phytohormones in disease resistance, the protective effect of salicylic acid (SA) on Neoporphyra haitanensis during Vibrio mediterranei 117-T6 infection was investigated by biochemical methods and transcriptomic profile analysis. The addition of exogenous SA at a mode ...
... Antrodia camphorata is a genus of wood-rot basidiomycete in the family Fomitopsidaceae. It is a valuable medicinal fungus in China that contains more than 78 kinds of active compounds. A. camphorata has good protection effects on the liver, especially on alcoholic liver injury (ALI). This paper summarizes the complex occurrence and development of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). In addition, the eff ...
... In the increasing exploration of marine resources, underwater deformable structures are also being increasingly applied, we propose underwater straight tube deformable structures based on hydrogel beads. By bending experiments, the strength of the structural elements is studied, and the relationship between stiffness of the straight tube deformable structure and the initial mass of the hydrogel be ...

Abstract:
... Research demonstrates the protective role of self-compassion for eating disorder symptoms. However, studies investigating self-compassion most often use the Self-Compassion Scale, which aggregates the distinct but related constructs of compassionate and uncompassionate self-responding. This study examined differential associations of compassionate and uncompassionate self-responding with positive ...

Abstract:
... Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of disease centered on obesity, which is the result of stagnation of liver qi according to traditional Chinese medicine. Panax notoginseng is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, entering liver and stomach meridians and dissipating blood stasis, in which panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) are the main active components. However, its effects and mechanism on m ...

Next, it examined whether personal growth initiative moderated the mediation effect. The study comprised 461 Pakistani university students (52% men and 48% women) between 18 and 35 years (M = 24.66, SD = 3.51). Results in ...

Abstract:
... Maintaining healthy eating habits requires self-control and this process can become unsuccessful in certain stressful situations (e.g., economic scarcity). This study tested whether self-compassion can buffer the negative impacts of economic scarcity on healthy eating behaviors and self-control. In the correlational Study 1 (n = 304) based on self-reports, a mediating effect of self-control betwee ...
